SOUTH EAST LONDON POOL LEAGUE

CAPTAINS CUP

Monday 9th February 2026

VENUE – HAND IN HAND

61 New Park Road, SW2 4EN

Registration NOT LATER than 7.55pm

Play starts straight after the draw at 8.00pm

Captains Cup – Only the Captain or Vice-Captain of each team, as registered, is eligible to participate in this competition.

The tournament will be straight single frame knock out with best of three frames in the Final. Table fees for each frame will be shared between the players in accordance with the relevant Rules except for the Final which will be paid for by the League.

All players intending to participate MUST be at the venue by 7.55pm to register so that the draw can take place at 8.00pm promptly and competition commence immediately thereafter. 

Please ensure your team is represented on the night as I will have available packs for every team for the new League season containing all the paperwork you need including details of all Venues, League Calendar and Fixture List, and Match Results Sheets for the season.

Welcome to the 2026 Pool season and Good Luck to all teams and all players. 

A particularly warm welcome to three new teams this season - MoL 2, Pub Life and The Crown & Sceptre. 

Sadly, we have lost two teams for this season, George Canning and Prince of Wales B. Nevertheless we have 12 teams this season (the most we have had for some years), playing out of 9 venues. We will therefore be retaining a similar calendar to last year's, with a 22 week league calendar interspersed with our other usual competitions.

All the paperwork for the season will be available that evening. I will also circulate another e-mail, to our wider e-mail list, in the next few days including, for information and so that people can begin to prepare, a list of the first set of league matches which will take place on Monday 16th February. 

I look forward to seeing you at the Hand in Hand on Monday week.

Kind regards,

Simon Hooberman

League Secretary

Presentation Night will take place on Saturday 17th January 2026 at Smeta Club, 10 St. Matthew's Road, SW2 1NH.
